Many different waveguide to coaxial transition devices have been built in the past. The prior art broadband transitions typically used double, tapered ridged transitions to coaxial connectors fastened to one of the broad walls of the waveguide. For many assemblies it is a disadvantage to have the coaxial connector at a 90.degree. angle to the waveguide. Another disadvantage of these assemblies is the difficult mechanical construction and the cost of the device.
